launches haven't let up for a second. this morning, you can see the casualties mounting in the hospital. some here are militants. most are not. including the tiny, lifeless bodies of young children wrapped in palestinian flags. with all the children and innocence being killed, do you want hamas to keep firing at israel? not just hamas, all the palestinian groups, this man told us. what did they do to be killed like this? this is what has gazans furious. of 11 people killed in this house on sunday, all but 2 were from one family. this, while more than 1,000 rockets have been fired by israel. the majority have been knocked down by the iron dome. but many still get through. they continue to talk. the list of conditions is lengthy and extremely complicated. this morning, israel warned if an agreement isn't reached within hours it could launch a

"the wall street journal" finds american companies are now cutting back on investments at the fastest pace since the recession. many cite concerns in political uncertainty in washington and slowing demands overseas. and new york city has been forced to extend gas rationing for yet another week. some 30% of the city's gas stations remain closed, three weeks after hurricane sandy roared ashore. and finally an image going viral this morning. take a look. what became the end of a road for a police officer with his van in germany. he was chasing alleged bike thieves when he drove straight into a stretch of newly laid cement. that van, as you can see, came to a sudden and rather complete stop. they eventually did have to bring in a tow truck to get it out. the good news, however, other officers caught up with the bike thieves. it ended well. and, thus, rather hilariously. >> so they pulled it out before

the cement hardened. >> yes. >> thank you, josh. the latest now on the sex scandal that cost cia director david petraeus his job. as he plots his next career move, we're also hearing from sources closest to his mistress and protege paula broadwell. abc's pierre thomas brings us those details from washington. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning, george. family friend of paula broadwell says she's devastated and deeply regrets the damage that's been done to her family along with everyone else. broadwell drove with her husband to their home from d.c. on sunday, trying to piece their lives back together. declining to talk to reporters. >> we've got no comment. >> reporter: inside, they were greeted by 25 supportive friends and neighbors. someone close to broadwell tells abc news, her goal now is to focus on her family. >> at some point, i'll have a statement for you guys. just not right now. sorry. >> reporter: broadwell faces a critical decision from prosecutors who must decide to charge her with mishandling classified information or allegedly taking secret files from government buildings. that's a potential violation of

federal law. the authorities may allow the military to discipline her. >> the whole thought or idea that you have classified information on your personal computer at home, i'm sure violates some army regulations, if nothing else. >> reporter: as for sentencing petraeus, he's clearly not worried about federal prosecution. this weekend, we learned he hired not a criminal attorney, but bob barnett, one of the best media lawyers in the country and one known for getting great book deals. on the sunday talk shows there was not a lot of criticism of petraeus. >> it's really the nation's loss in losing petraeus. >> personally, is this a heartbreak. >> he's obviously a greater leader. >> reporter: meanwhile, the rest of the characters caught in this soap opera struggled under the hot glare of media attention. jill kelley fought to keep a low profile as a close friend defended her in an abc news exclusive. >> jill kelley is a good friend. the best kind of a friend.

a friend that could keep a secret. the friend that you could trust is. >> reporter: still, that doesn't stop "saturday night live." from having mischievous fun. >> seen here in the same clip, doing the same thing, because it's the only footage we have of her. [ laughter ] >> reporter: that's apparently where we are. limit limited if any national security damage, but personal lives apart and lots of fodder for comedians. >> pierre, thank you so much. fodder indeed. now on to the biggest week of the year for traveling and shopping. and we have complete coverage of the holiday madness which is just about to start. more than 43 million of us are are traveling to see family and friends on this thanksgiving. what should we expect on the roads and the skies? and is there bad weather ahead? and just how crazy will that shopping get? jim avila is at laguardia airport. good morning, jim. >> reporter: good morning, elizabeth. it's not all bad news. first of all, gas prices are down 7 cents in the past two weeks. otherwise, the weather seems to

be pretty good, holding up well everywhere, except for the pacific northwest. snow, wind and heavy rain, bad weather causing a rough start for some of the 43 million americans expected to be on the move this week. 90% of them in cars. snow forecast for mountain passes in washington state by thanksgiving. and heavy flooding in northern california is already creating dangerous road conditions in the west. >> 39 million people will be driving in cars on interstates and roads will be very busy. >> reporter: in the air, very few delays, however. and the airlines are looking forward to clear weather for the week. jetblue tweeting, mother nature looks to deliver a beautiful weather week for holiday travel. let's do this. air travel is actually down 3% this thanksgiving because airlines have cut the number of flights and prices are high. the busiest day for travel will be wednesday when 45% head out. 35% returning sunday, 25% waiting till monday. now, there is one potential bump

in the runway for air travelers, out in los angeles, the airport workers are talking about a strike at the airport just before thanksgiving. so if you're planning on using l.a.x. this week, you might want to take a look at that. george? >> thank you, jim. and that rush to thanksgiving also means we're bearing down on black friday. with 147 million people planning on heading to stores this holiday weekend. walmart workers are rebelling. bianna golodryga takes a look. at haul that from the toys a s us right here in times square. good morning, bianna. >> reporter: good morning, george. retailers are pulling out all the stops. americans expected to spend up to 4% from last year. but not everyone is looking forward to that mad dash come thursday night, especially workers at the largest retailer. the country's biggest retailer

may be part of a black friday blackout. walmart workers at 1,000 locations angry that stores are opening at 8:00 p.m. on thanksgiving are planning to strike. and in cities like chicago, dallas, miami, milwaukee and los angeles, it could happen as early as today. meanwhile, best buy employees are firing up for the big day with training drills. >> this is what live for. this is what i love to do. >> reporter: in places like wisconsin, california, and florida, shoppers have already started camping out. some already planning to eat thanksgiving dinner in line. >> thanksgiving, mom comes out with the plates and stuff and we've got everything that you have on a normal thanksgiving table. >> reporter: these early birds are ready to pounce on door-busting deals. from $78 flat screen tvs at walmart and $100 cameras at target which are going to match amazon. >> electronics are going to be huge again. the ipad mini, everybody wants.

the ipod 5. for kids a leappad2, like an ipad for kids. >> george, to give you an idea how excited they are thursday night. the first 200 shoppers will be give a $30 gift bag for holiday shopping. what every they want to do about it. but stocking stuffers. >> already lining up. thank you, bianna. and now switching gears to the growing mystery on the gulf coast. there's a serial killer on the loose after -- going after dolphins. it's getting a lot of people on edge right now. and abc's john schriffen has the story. >> reporter: this morning, investigators along the gulf coast are trying to figure out who is responsible for mutilating and killing dolphins, after a string of disturbing attacks here. >> the animaling with bullets in them. we have seen animals with their tails cut off. animals with their jaws cut off. so it's really heartbreaking to see such senseless violence. >> reporter: moby solangy, one

of the lead investigators says recently authorities have found four dolphins either floating in the water or washed up on the beaches in louisiana, mississippi, and alabama. including one found just days ago. what kind of a person would do this? >> no normal person would kill senselessly and then mutilate it. i mean, this is kind of something you hear in horror stories. >> reporter: the animals have been brought here to the institute for marine mammal studies in gulfport, mississippi. investigators hope autopsies will determine how the dolphins died and whether they were tortured first. hey, buster! what makes this even more incomprehensible to scientists is that dolphins pose no threat to us. >> they love to be rubbed on. this is a nice little belly rub for him. >> reporter: dolphins are highly intelligent, second only to people but they're also a very accepting species. they just love human interaction. and that has people here concerned. they say whoever is doing the attacks are taking advantage of the instincts.

>> they are very, very curious animals. and when they come close to boats, we have somebody using them as target practice. >> reporter: and the penalty for killing a dolphin is a fine of up to $100,000. and a maximum one year in jail. but experts say it's biggest fear right now, because investigators are still piecing this together, is that there are more dead dolphins out there that they just haven't found yet. george? elizabeth? we're going to turn now to what may be the last thing for the twinkie. they're heading to bankruptcy, but there's a good chance that twinkies and the other iconic brands will survive. abc's linsey davis has the story. >> reporter: mexican billionaire daniel servitje montull doesn't look a lot like twinkie the kid. >> howdy, partners!

>> reporter: but for millions of fans of this snack staple, this morning, they hope his company will be riding a white horse to the rescue. >> a lot of people love these products and that still resonates. >> reporter: later today, hostess, the 82-year-old icon that makes twinkies, along with ding-dongs and wonder bread will fold. selling off the country in bankruptcy court. >> at this point, the only option is to wind down the business. >> reporter: after the company announced friday it's shutting down, the broad fans emptied shelves. >> everybody is grabbing hostess. >> reporter: people were in such a panic over the weekend, four boxes of the gooey treat were listed for $3 million on ebay. >> i cannot face a world without twinkies. >> reporter: one fanatic, afraid of facing the end, even posted a do-it-yourself twinkie tutorial on youtube. up until then, sales were

drawling as moms swapped out healthier choices in lunch boxes. a bitter nationwide strike by factory workers ended in a stalemate last week. the hearing today will determine if the company is liquidated. part of the reason that the mexican company could actually keep twinkies alive is because it can take advantage of lower priced sugar in mexico. so viva la twinkie! the food is so iconic, president clinton included it in the millennium time capsule, george. now, we have an update on robin's recovery. it's been 60 days since her bone marrow transplant. and over the weekend, robin wrote about how she's doing after a brief stay in the hospital. getting stronger every day. robin posted this photo note on her blog sunday, explaining why she had to return to the hospital. she wrote "a latent virus many of us have was not responding to medication and was pulling down my numbers. our immune systems usually take care of a virus like this. but mine is only 59 days old." robin returned home friday,

calling her brief stay a tuneup on the road to recovery. and robin says "by the grace of god, i am." she spent the weekend with her sister and donor, sally-ann. while she was here, she was interviewed by her sister. the station has done an incredible job for the need for donors like my big sis. i've been moved to tears by my "gma" families and your engine support, concern and love." we should add, it's not unusual for someone going through what robin is going through to have a brief stay in the hospital. >> very, very normal. doctors say. not to be unexpected. >> and the idea of a tuneup, it's nice, right? >> yeah. >> you get in there, you tuneup. >> she's only 59 days old, guys. >> we'll hear from robin tomorrow. she's interviewed by her sister sally-ann. we'll also hear from robin's doctor.

now let's get the weather from sam. >> we're going to talk a little bit about travel this week. this is a big travel week. every day, we're going to let you know what part of the country is in the worst shape. in case you're starting today you should know it's the northwest is that has the issue. we've got several storms. each one of those storms rotates in, as it does, it's going to slam with rain and gusty winds. some winds from 40 to 80 miles per hour in gusts. and take a look at rains that will fall all the way to tuesday, from portland to medford. now redding and san francisco will catch up by the time we get to tomorrow. this is the only part of the country that really has it rough. that offshore storm we thought may threaten the east coast is well offshore. but what it does is bring extra water along the coastline, particularly high tide time. this is beautiful weather. chicago, 56, lexington, 61, washington, d.c., 54 degrees. take a look at chicagoland. this may be one of their warmest thanksgivings ever. the country is going to look that good. take a look at the big heat. the nice temperatures through the middle of the country.

john muller has been covering the story from the beginning. >> reporter: elizabeth, if day two is anything like the first day, it should be riveting, a medical examiner who looked over those wounds to jeffrey pyne's hands is expected to testify. of key interest those massive blisters on son jeffrey's hands. 22-year-old jeffrey pyne watched stone-faced as prosecutors wasted no time hammering away with their strongest evidence. >> he lied about how he got those. >> reporter: startling photographs of pyne's hands covered with massive blisters. the photograph taken just hours after his mother was found brutally murdered. he's accused of bludgeoning and stabbing ruth pyne inside their suburban michigan home may of 2011. >> he hit her in the back of the head. and he hit her again. >> reporter: pyne's former boss from a farmer's market testified jeffrey got the beliefers on the job throwing a shipping pallet. he also testified the investigation didn't add up.

>> it did seem odd to me. i'd expect more of a splinter or scrape more than what rye -- than what looked like a rope burn. >> reporter: a strong showing for the prosecution who also played 911 tapes of the horrific moment after pyne's father and sister found ruth pyne's body. >> she's laying in the garage. there's blood everywhere. i don't know what's going on. >> okay, okay, is she in the house or outside? >> she's in the garage. >> reporter: prosecutors contend jeffrey pyne killed his mother in a rage after years of abuse. ruth pyne was bipolar. the defense maintains jeffrey pyne is innocent. >> somebody else committed this crime. i believe the evidence will show you that. >> reporter: and despite the troubling blisters on his hands, the beloved jeffrey pyne still carries the support of most of his michigan community, as they stand behind the former athlete and star student. described as a great all-around

great guy. jeffrey pyne if convicted faces the possibility of life in prison without parole. elizabeth. >> thank you so much. let's bring in dan abrams. dan, we heard john say on day one of this trial, the prosecution played the 911 case. we heard a snippet of it there. it's pretty powerful stuff, but the husband of the murder victim you that hear on that tape is in court supporting the accused victim? >> that's right. it's not like you have the person on trial calling 911 and the jurors will want to listen to every intonation and how obsessed the person seems, et cetera. here, it's really setting the stage for the evidence to come. >> and it's key, as you've been saying about this case, the defense is not saying, yes, he killed here as a result of abuse, but they're saying somebody else did it. have they presenteded any alibi? >> so far, we're hearing the prosecution's case. and this was a good day for the prosecution, no question about it. the wounds on the hands are the best evidence for prosecutors. the question is going to be, can

prosecutors cross over from, yeah, this guy could have done it to proof beyond ronald doubt that he did do it. and i think that's going to be the challenge for prosecutors here. because, they're certainly going to have evidence that there's a reason he might have done it. there are questions. there are these injuries on his hands. there was some blood found in the home. there's definitely, you know, a motive here. but can they take to that next level is the question, i think, they're going to have trouble doing. >> i have to say, somebody reading into the history of this case, not only was the murderer arrested for attacking her son, but apparently, since the time he was 9 years old, he was threatening to kill him. wasn't there a crime committed. didn't somebody fail the little boy in this case? >> no question. but remember, now, that is in the past because that's not what his defense was. he's saying he simply was not there. >> so this won't even be relevant? >> no, it's relevant to the prosecution's motive. the prosecution is saying this

was the motive. but the defense is saying, i wasn't there. so this is not that kind of defense which makes this an incredible bizarre case. because that helps the defense on one hand, but that's the prosecution's theory on the other. >> a literally sad case all the way around. >> yeah. >> all right, dan. we'll check in with sam champion for a look at the morning weather. >> woon of the widest water spouts caught on tape in south wales. take a look at how powerful that looked in the bay. the australia department of meterology said it was a particularly rough time of weather, about 24 times, that we get water spouts, just off the coast alone, it's a little less usual in that area of australia. we'll take a look at this low and it's just one of several spins in. with heavy rains, strong gusting winds. some cases, 6 to 7 inches of rain. add mountain snow here, gusty winds, 70, 80 miles an hour.
